What is the ideal number of children dying from preventable diseases each day, sufficient to make you feel happy in yourself?

Someone doesn’t have young kids. I’m resigned to the fact that clothes of any colour will get stained or ripped or damaged in some way.

Not once have I done this, or even considered it. Scrolling takes up enough time, never mind reviewing my previous thoughts whilst scrolling. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Comparison is the thief of joy. I think a lot of people could do with that one.

What don’t you get? It’s angry sex. Like you’ve had an argument, and you fuck, and it’s angry.

As someone who has shaved their head for decades, no.

This link is a treat. Not a single bit of buffering or blurred screen or any glitch at all in 3 matches since you posted this. Excellent work.

I have seen them 7 times between 2002 and 2024, and they were exceptional each time (even if they only played my favourite song for the first time in the '24 gig). I also love that they don’t allow phones at their gigs. It’s great to not have a sea of screens in front of you. They usually have great warm up acts too.

Niblings. There’s a word I’ve never heard before. I’m guessing it means niece or nephew. I like it.

Trolling? Nothing I wrote was untrue.

Tool, always. Propagandhi were also great.

As of now (4.45pm GMT on 25th Feb 2025) I’m the last to comment on this post of a person who (erroneously) believes they are the last of the early adopters of the internet (I’d say there are millions of us).

Most words will sound different every few miles. There are countless regional accents, meaning there is no right or wrong. I’m northern Irish and I say mir instead of mirror. It’s wrong but it’s not wrong, if you know what I mean.

Peter Serafinowicz is cracking.

My mate thought they were great but I just didn’t get it. Their music seemed really bland and uninspiring. Just non-descript songs one after the other. Usually I leave a gig with some lyrics or chords or something sticking with me. Not with Ladytron. I felt… nothing, nothing but relief it was over. It was just some below average synthpop. There was nothing I’d call a hit, or in any way memorable. It stands out as one of the worst gigs I’ve ever been to, perhaps the worst (and I’ve seen Van Morrison arrive over an hour late and play obscure tracks for 45 mins whilst obviously drunk). Each to their own, but deffo not for me.

I agree completely with your first paragraph.

I haven’t thought of this band in years, and just yesterday I was thinking ‘what was that shite gig my mate dragged me to in Liverpool about 20 years ago?’

Very odd to see a post about them the very next day.
